Had Indent In Leg Since Childhood, Causing Weakness In Legs. Concerned About Crippling?
I have had an indent in my right leg since i was a kid. It is a week spot that causes my leg to cave out from under me. It is about 3inches below my knee but on the outside of my leg. I am concerned with aging that it will become crippling. When I workout it sometimes collapses out from under me. Wondering what it is, what I can do to build it up so it doesn't become a bigger problem.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
As long as I understood what you have described it, may be bow leg, and if it is really the case then you should not worry at all about this this is normal condition, in my opinion you just see the orthopedic surgeon once, have good day.
